It's Not What You Know...

...it's who you know. It's one of the first sayings that I ever heard, but it stands as true today as it did back when I came across it. This weekend, it was made ever more apparent.

It all started on Saturday evening at a 'law BBQ' that I was attending. Now, as I went as a 'plus 1', a law BBQ for me involves being surrounded by lots of lawyers and not really understanding the majority of the things that come out of their mouths. That said, when the conversation came around to me and I explained that I was a Personal Trainer, all of the ears there perked up. It seems that in the past, pretty much all of the people there had used a Personal Trainer and subsequently they were major advocates of the profession.
"Finally" I thought, my time to shine. So, for the next 30 minutes or so, I filled a group with a load of information from my brain-box in order to show these lawyer types that us PTs know complicated things too.

After a while, one of the guests there informed me that she is a bit of a hot shot in her area too; and her area is sourcing ideas, script, guidelines and talent for various television networks. This is where the really interesting stuff starts.

It now appears that she's currently comissioning a show on "mind, body and spirit" for the BBC and thinks that I could be perfect as the Personal Trainer that works on the show. As far as I understood after a few glasses of champagne, it's a show not unlike some of the current "You are what you eat" etc type reality TV shows, but with professionals from various areas advising on 'cleaning up' your life, your mind, your spirit and you body; and it's in that last section that she believes that I could fit perfectly.

So now it's a fingers-crossed waiting game whilst I wait for a call with any more information, but from the sounds of things, this could be a very exciting step!
